    Welcome to my journal

    I am a child of God and a believer of Jesus Christ. A helpmate to my amazing husband that can drive me crazy in more than one way. ;) A nurturer and trainer of one daughter and one son.

    Columnist for Shattered Magazine
    Honest. Raw. Legit.
    Country girl....which means I love to feel the mud between my toes on a warm summer day....
    Loved to meet you!

    I LOVE capturing romance, turning engagement sessions into a fun date, and enhancing chemistry with my couples.
    I mainly specialize in working with couples and weddings--and love seeing marriages succeed. Be sure to check out my Monday Marriage Matters blog posts. :)
    My 2nd specialty is working with highschool senior girls. And my passion is to see one girl after another see the true beauty within once seeing their images.

    Inspired by The Creator and His nature all around me. Inspired to impress. Inspired to inspire others.

    I have been told that I am known for drawing one into the artistry of the moment, fluidly arresting an instant in time, while enabling the audience to continue the moment in its mind's eye. There's a magical impression left on one's soul after viewing such photography, as it becomes visual food for the soul..... poetry in motion.

    “We must hunger after the beautiful and good"... (George Eliot)

{newborn} Huntsville, Alabama newborn photographer

Posted inFamily

Welcome to the world, Sean!!
I was honored to take pics of this sweet little boy at 7 days new!! He was the most perfect baby ever to take pics of. I had all my set up ready when they arrived, we undressed, got him into the cocoon for the first shot, and he loved it. He just snuggled right down into it, and even gave a few smiles.:)
He never woke up…..just slept through the whole shoot. I had a blast…and I will have to say the shots of mommy and baby are some of my favs! They just melt my heart. I am almost down to a month when I will be holding my son, and these pics make me even more ready!

Don’t forget about my baby plans I offer for maternity-one year of age!! Check out my website, and you will find all the info under pricing. It truly is worth capturing that first year, because your little one changes so much! http://www.annapociaskphotography.com

Katherine {children} Huntsville, Alabama photographer

Posted inChildhood

I just LOVE photographing children…especially 3 year olds! You always seem to capture such pure, innocent looks…and best of all, the big smiles for mommy while she is dancing behind me to get her child to smile.;)I think I may enjoy that more than actually taking pictures….just kidding.:)
This is sweet Katherine, which we have become friends with at church. Katherine has a big birthday coming up–and she will be 3!! We can’t wait to celebrate with you, sweet katherine!

Anna,
You have such a nack for catching the very essence of your subjects’ personalities; particularly the children. I am confident that being a mom has aided you as you have learned how your own daughter thinks and reacts and interacts with adults. But from the short time I knew you before marriage and family, I know God has gifted you uniquely to be approachable. You can see in the photos that your subjects are drawn to you, and view your lens as an extension of yourself. I know from my photography experience that if a person is disconnected and a subject is simply looking at a camera, it almost dehumanizes them. when you are working, you and your camera are one; bringing out the best in the souls on the other side.

Thanks for sharing your work and the beauty that is God’s pinnacle creation. I love living vicariously through your lens.

Kathy

{second shooter}

Posted inUncategorized

Just a quick shout out….

It looks as if I will be needing an assistant/second shooter in the near future with baby boy on the way. The second shooter would mainly be for weddings, and would be required to travel with me as well. I am looking for someone in the Huntsville area, if possible. Please spread the word, and if you are interested, email me at– photosbyanna@gmail.com, leave your website information, what your passion of interest is in photography, and any questions you may have for me.

Thanks!
Anna

{my journey as a photographer…part II}

Posted inUncategorized

May 5, 2010 I sat and put into words where I began as a photographer…here is the link if you want to go back and read it. http://annapociask.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/my-journey-as-a-photographer/

I promised I would scan the pictures that spurred my photography….which were taken on my first overseas mission trip in India. I’ll be honest when I was scanning these prints and REALLY looking into the eyes of these two children, my heart began to race with thoughts of….how old are they now? are they still running in the streets all dirty and barely having anything to eat? did someone reach their village with the gospel and now are involved in a church plant? It’s crazy how attached I am to these two girls, just from taking one snapshot of them. My dream has always to be a national geographic photographer….and I am just waiting on Gods timing. Well, here are the pics I promised…these were taken with my first canon rebel FILM camera!

{Love is in the air}

Posted inChildhood

Abigail has really been into dressing up in my old costumes I wore when in dance. I thought I would get out some of my studio stuff and we would play around today. I also added in there a little valentine flare, since it is a month away. I’d love to take some indoor kid sessions for valentines. I have some super cute cards you could use to pass out in school or mail to grandparents.
